Oliver Ho returns with his post-metal ambient project SLOW WHITE FALL,
presenting FLOOD, an album of 10 brutal cinematic experiments in sound pressure
and industrial electronics.
Since the debut record on Karl OÆConnorÆs Downwards label, Oliver Ho has
stretched and pushed the sound into heavier more widescreen sonic territories.
Coming on Justin K Broadrick's Avalanche Recordings, FLOOD represents a deep
dive into dense soundscapes that explore the idea of the sea. Its huge size and
overwhelming presence act as a metaphor for death, and the infinite.
The idea of passing from this world into another is something that is a strong
theme in OliverÆs work, the mantra which runs through his music is ôWe become
sound when we dieö
This idea of becoming sound and dissolving the physical being elevates music and
sound to a transcendent status, it is sound as the next phase of existence.
The album begins with Mountain of Light, sparse instrumental patterns that echo
and drone, are slammed by bulldozer drums and death metal guitar noise. The next
song, White Horses features ambient synths and pummelling drums and feedback.
Beautiful Abyss has a slow motion Valium soul that envelopes itself. The album
continues with its journey into dense and relentless doom electronics, passing
through moments of quiet ambience at points, which act as a place of stillness
amongst the crushing walls of noise.
The final track, In The Heart of The Great Alone, is a glacial drift of growling
distorted bass rumbles, and decaying guitar distortion. A final resting place of
dissolving sound.
